Romance.
Romance came to our cradles — yours and mine, Soft whispering " Yea," Tfien, with- warm kiss upon our baby brows : — " When far and wide adown the world ye stray, No hand shall free you from my mystic vows. While ye shall gather rue, who reach for pay, Yet in your heart of hearts hold me divine ; Dreamers ! who pluck at stars, as babes pluck may, Your lives, your dreams, your loves about me twine." Her vassals we, in blissful thrall alway Uphold the honour of her ancient line. 1 . ' \ ' . "- . -" " .■ RoSLTO.
